The economy has been hard on many people in the Jeffersonville area, so America Place is hosting a canned food drive this holiday season. Teaming up with New Hope Services, the drive will collect food and grocery gift cards for local families to help make sure they have a happy holiday. To kick off the giving spirit America Place has donated $5,000 towards the drive. "This is a fantastic way for us to show how much this community means to us. We hope that everyone will help pitch in to those in need," said managing director Debbie Smith.
